CHAPTER 196: CHAPTER 192 IMMORTAL GRADE

Opening his eyes again, the scene had already returned to the side room.

At this moment, a mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

"Evolution successful!"

"Divine Techniques evolution cooling down, time half a month!"

"Evolution mutated, Nine Revolutions Secret Technique (Primordial Realm) upgraded to Immortal Grade Technique Nine Elements Dao Skill!"

"Nine Elements Dao Skill, the next evolution needs to wait three months!"

Nine Elements Dao Skill!

Chen Xuan immediately summoned the system.

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Immortal Grade) (Layer One (0/100,000))]

His gaze immediately locked onto the cultivation technique column.

Especially the two words in it.

Immortal Grade!

So above a First Grade Cultivation Technique is Immortal Grade.

Not only did he not know this, even Xuan Er didn’t know.

Because during this year, the two of them had discussed it,

that the current First Grade Cultivation Technique was already the peak, what about after that?

What exactly is the realm above the First Grade?

"Immortal Grade Technique, so could it be Immortal Grade above First Grade?"

Chen Xuan speculated in his heart.

Of course, he wasn’t sure.

However—

"Upgrade Nine Elements Dao Skill!"

He shouted in his heart.

Since he had evolved a cultivation technique, he had as many as a million skill points, so of course, he wanted to experience what it meant to be affluent.

"Boom!"

The warm current appeared in his chest again.

Suddenly Chen Xuan felt a sense of tears streaming down his face, more than a year had passed, and he finally experienced this feeling again.

Moreover, he felt that it was somewhat different from before, the energy now was even purer.

Wandering throughout his body.

"So comfortable!"

At this moment, he couldn’t help but moan.

Outside in the courtyard!

Xuan Er and Ye Jincen slowly descended from the air.

"Uncle Xuan, Husband has been in closed cultivation for seven days, and he hasn’t come out, this situation never happened before!"

At this moment, she was anxious in her heart, her eyes always looking at the door of the side room.

As if she wanted to see the situation inside.

But whenever Chen Xuan was cultivating, he would use spiritual power to block his aura, both of them were Tier Two Spirit Cultivators.

Moreover, she was afraid that forcibly checking would backfire, so she never dared to do so.

"Alright, don’t worry, let me check!"

This child, truly concerned and thus confused, isn’t it normal for martial artists of their level to be in closed cultivation for ten days or half a month?

Is it necessary to be like this?

Upon hearing the voices of the two, the others quickly arrived here.

One by one, all stared eagerly at Xuan Er.

Seeing this, he immediately extended a wisp of spiritual power, slowly entering the side room.

But just as Ye Jincen said, Chen Xuan enveloped himself with spiritual power, but fortunately, he was only a Tier Two Spirit Cultivator.

Very smoothly, he entered the side room.

"Hmm?"

Immersed in cultivation, Chen Xuan suddenly sensed a wisp of spiritual power pierce in, carefully sensing that it was Xuan Er’s.

"Why is Master here?"

So he extended his spiritual power to take a look!

Ha!

A few women all had worried faces, he immediately understood.

He had been in closed cultivation for too long!

"I’m in closed cultivation, will come out today! It’s alright!"

And outside in the courtyard, the few women, upon hearing his voice, finally put down their anxious hearts of the past few days.

Smiles also appeared on their faces.

"I said it, it would definitely be alright! Brother Xuan is the most amazing!" Su Yun exclaimed, with an attitude of having known it all along.

"Oh, really? Who was it then? Couldn’t sleep last night and asked me to hold her to sleep!"

Knowing Chen Xuan was alright, Yue Nan’s mood also improved, and she started teasing the little girl.

"Sister Pei...."

Su Yun’s face immediately turned red, being publicly embarrassed, not only among their sisters, but Brother Xuan’s master was also there.

"I’m leaving now!"

Xuan Er left a sentence, then his silhouette disappeared directly, this place wasn’t suitable for him to stay.

With no outsiders around, Su Yun began to break loose, rushing over to tickle her, "Humph! Sister Pei bullies me, watch me tickle!"

But Pei Yuenan wasn’t easy to bully either, arching her body, her rounded parts blocking Su Yun’s hands.

But she miscalculated!

Originally thought the little girl would be shy, unexpectedly she boldly squeezed, making Pei Yuenan blush.

"Humph! I’ll get back at you!"

Pei Yuenan was unwilling to be outdone.

Suddenly the two women started fooling around, and in the side room, Chen Xuan, seeing this scene, almost had his spiritual power run amok within him.

Hastily shielding the outside, he sank into his mind, only then did he recover.

"Humph! These two women, they must be properly educated tonight!"

Instantly in his mind appeared a scene of them sparring!

The result of which was, this time the spiritual power really got chaotic!

...

Not until nightfall!

Did Chen Xuan finish his cultivation, opening his eyes abruptly.

A wisp of golden light shot out!

"Hmm?"

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable all over.

Then looked down, only to see both hands enveloped by a thin layer of gray stuff, and not just the hands, the entire body was!

"Is this the power of the Immortal Grade Technique?"

His physical body had long been without any impurities, unexpectedly, after merely cultivating the first layer of Nine Elements Dao Skill, so much was expelled.

At this moment he felt unprecedentedly comfortable.

Not only that, although still at Six Layers of Purity, the spiritual power within his body was at least thirty percent stronger than before.

"System!"

[Cultivation Technique: Nine Elements Dao Skill (Immortal Grade) (Layer Two (0/200,000))]

Upgrading to the second layer requires 200,000, and although he really wanted to upgrade now, he decided to wait until tomorrow.

After all, he promised them that he would come out tonight.

Besides—

Earlier, Su Yun and Yue Nan nearly caused his Spiritual Power to become chaotic, so he’ll have to settle that account with them tonight!

"Hehe!"

A mischievous smile appeared on his face!

...

That night, Chen Xuan gave the two women a harsh lesson!

So outrageous!

Because of this, they had to perform a unique public show.

Damned it!

The scene made Chen Xuan feel like he had transformed into a bloodthirsty demon beast, ready to devour the two alive.

The next morning!

Slightly opening his eyes, there were clothes everywhere, and many were torn.

It clearly showed how intense it was.

However—

[Last night was blissful beyond words, rewarding 5000 Skill Points, with a Famous Spring Water bonus of 2500 points.]

After Su Yun reached Third Grade, her base points hit 4000.

Unexpectedly, after last night’s antics, it increased to 5000.

Of course, he knew normally it should still be 4000 base points in the future.

The system’s wording is indeed precise.

"This system is really... so improper!"

He shook his head!

Then he gently withdrew his arm that Ji Keren was leaning on and quietly got up.

Today he planned to squander all the remaining Skill Points for once, to feel what it’s like to be extravagant!

...

’Upgrade Nine Elements Dao Skill (Immortal Grade) (second layer), spending 200,000 Skill Points, finally reaching the Seven Layers of Purity!’

"Upgrade to the third layer! Spending 400,000 Skill Points, still at the Seven Layers of Purity!"

Two days have passed by now.

"Tsk tsk....."

Seeing the progress numbers displayed next to Nine Elements Dao Skill on the panel, Chen Xuan clicked his tongue, even dogs would shake their heads at this.

800,000 Skill Points!

Damned system!

Aren’t you trying to take his life!

"Got to do some serious calculations."

Chen Xuan counted on his fingers, without any extra activities now, the base points per day is 4000, plus the Spring Water bonus, that’s 2000 points!

Which means 6000 a day!

The remaining Skill Points now are.... he glanced at the panel.

"Over 300,000!"

Calculating it, it still needs approximately 3 more months!

"Sss——"

He exhaled deeply.

This is just for upgrading the Nine Elements Dao Skill to the fourth layer; it’s now at eight layers, and the rest.....

It’s too terrifying, he doesn’t dare to think about it!

....

Great Xia Imperial City.

"Your Majesty, is there something you need from this old minister?" Qi Lin stood respectfully outside the Taiji Hall, slightly puzzled.

After all, Xia Yi had not left the Taiji Hall in years, focusing solely on Realm Breakthroughs, and had never sought him out before.

"The time is about right, it’s time to begin!"

"Proclaim my decree, summon all Third Grade and above experts of Great Xia! To wage war against Great Zhou! Kill those who defy the order!"

"Deploy the Dark Guard!"

Xia Yi’s imposing voice emanated from within the Taiji Hall, causing Qi Lin to momentarily struggle to breathe.

Even the Dark Guard has been mobilized!

Qi Lin was incredibly shocked, during the last demon beast chaos, he had suggested using the Dark Guard, but it was refused.

It seems this time His Majesty means business.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will go prepare immediately!"

Qi Lin replied respectfully, though he asked, "If Zhou Zheng acts...."

The only aspect of Great Zhou he feared was him.

With the blessing of the National Spirit, he was no match!

"You will take the National Spirit, I will have it assist you!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!"

This reassured him, with the blessing of the National Spirit, he had no fear of Zhou Zheng!

...

Soon, news spread that Great Xia was once again launching an expedition against Great Zhou.

And they had gathered experts from all five provinces of Great Xia above Third Grade!

In the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon hearing this news, Chen Xuan furrowed his brows, they had been at peace for a year, why did Great Xia suddenly decide to act?

Could it be—?

He raised his eyes towards Xuan Er.

"It’s possible Xia Yi is about to emerge from seclusion."

That’s the only possibility, otherwise, they wouldn’t have mobilized everyone, gathering all experts above Third Grade.

This is preparation for a decisive battle with Great Zhou.

If defeated, Great Xia would almost be declared a fallen kingdom.

"Not only that, this time the Dark Guard has also been mobilized!"

Ye Yilan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, his expression extremely serious.

"The Dark Guard?"

It was the first time Chen Xuan had heard of it, but judging by the look on his face, he knew it was not simple, so he asked, "What is the Dark Guard...?"

"The Dark Guard is a direct force cultivated by His Majesty before he ascended the throne, which nearly consumed all of his resources, and after ascending, nearly all resources seized from sects were devoted to the Dark Guard."

"So—"

"In the Dark Guard, the lowest level of cultivation is the Second Grade, with hundreds in number!"

"What!?"

Hundreds, even Chen Xuan was stunned to hear this.

But he quickly reacted, "Then why weren’t the Dark Guard used during the demon beast rebellion!"

With so many experts, why weren’t they deployed! What was Xia Yi thinking?

"I don’t know!"

Ye Yilan shook his head, he didn’t understand either, back then he thought they would employ the Dark Guard, but they didn’t!
